Answer:

Rate constant = 0.01238 days⁻¹

Explanation:

The first order reaction has as general equation:

Ln[A] = -kt + Ln[A]₀

<em>Where [A] is concentration of the reactant after time t,</em>

<em>k is rate constant</em>

<em>And [A]₀ the initial concentration of the reactant</em>

<em />

The half-life is the time required to reach the half of the initial concentration. If [A]₀ = 1; [A] = 1/2

Replacing:

Ln[1/2] = -kt + Ln[1]

-0.693 = -k*56days

0.01238days⁻¹ = k

<h3>Rate constant = 0.01238 days⁻¹</h3>

Nucleotides polymerize via condensation reactions. The reaction forms a new covalent bond—a phosphodiester linkage, or a phospho
Finger [1]

Answer:

The phosphodiester connects the 3′ carbon of one nucleotide to the 5′ carbon of another nucleotide

Explanation:

The phosphodiester bond is a covalent bond where a phosphate group is attached to adjacent C through an ester bond, which is a consequence of a condensation reaction between the two sugar hydroxyl groups and the phosphate group.

The diester bond between phosphoric acid and two sugar molecules in the DNA and RNA skeleton binds two nucleotides forming polymers known as oligonucleotides.

The phosphodiester bond binds a C3` with a C5` in both DNA and RNA

          (base)1-(sugar)-OH + HO-P(O)2-O-(sugar)-(base)2   ------>

------>   (base)1-(sugar)-O-P(O)2-O-(sugar)-(base)2  

During the reaction of two of the hydroxyl groups in phosphoric acid with a hydroxyl group in two other molecules two ester bonds in a phosphodiester group are formed. A condensation reaction in which a water molecule is lost generates each ester bond.

You have been given an orange liquid and told to describe its properties.
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - observing with the help of five senses.

Explanation:

To find and describe the physical properties of the given substance or the solution or liquid students can observe using their five senses. By looking at the liquid one can find its state and color, by smelling students can find the odor of the sample, by touching it one can observe and describe the texture.

Fluidity can also be measure by the touch if the solution is viscous or free-floating. By using a thermometer and using a graduated cylinder one can find the temperature at room temperature and the weight of substance respectively.
